Luggage storage at Barcelona-El Prat Airport

If you have a layover at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona Airport, storing your luggage can make your time in the city or between flights much easier. The airport offers a left-luggage service operated by Excess Baggage Company, available at both terminals:


  • Terminal 1 (T1) - Open 24/7, located on the ground floor (Arrivals - “La Plaza” area).
  • Terminal 2 (T2) - Open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, located between T2B and T2C.


All items go through X-ray screening before storage for safety. One important note: you can’t book in advance, so availability may be limited during busy periods.


Prices start at 10€/bag for 2 hours of storage (for a standard-sized suitcase). 


Alternatively, you can have your luggage picked up by LUGGit directly at Terminal 1 or 2 and stored for you. It’s a great option if you’re heading into Barcelona city center or if you need to switch terminals.

Luggage storage in local businesses across Barcelona

Barcelona is also home to a wide network of luggage storage locations in local shops, cafĂ©s, and hotels. These services are available through platforms such as Bounce, Stasher, LuggageHero, and Radical Storage. Booking is handled entirely online via website or mobile app. These platforms partner with hundreds of businesses in the city’s most visited areas, so you're likely to find a location near where you are. 

Among these options, Bounce is notable for offering up to 10 000$ in insurance coverage, which provides peace of mind for travelers carrying valuable items.

LuggageHero stands out by offering both hourly and daily pricing models, which can be more cost-effective if you only need storage for a short amount of time.

This is also typically the more affordable option. That said, the safety and reliability of each location can vary since they are independently managed by local businesses. It’s important to check user reviews and confirm operating hours before dropping off your belongings, since some spots may close early.


Prices are around 4-6€/day for a standard suitcase.

Luggage storage at Barcelona-Sants Train Station

If you’re arriving by rail, Barcelona-Sants Station is likely your entry point. As the city’s main train station, it connects travelers to regional, national, and international destinations. Sants has a dedicated left-luggage service located in the underground car park on floor -1. Like the airport facilities, it is run by the Excess Baggage Company and operates daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.


Prices start at 6€/bag for 2 hours of storage (for a standard-sized suitcase).


Near Sants station, you can also find other luggage storage options:

  • Bounce, Stasher, Radical Storage - All have partner stores within walking distance.
  • Stow Your Bags - Luggage locker facility about 10 minutes away, open 7 AM–11 PM.
  • LUGGit - Will meet you at the station, collect your bags, and deliver them later wherever you need them.

Luggage storage at Barcelona Cruise Port

The Port of Barcelona is Europe’s busiest cruise port and a popular starting or ending point for Mediterranean cruises. While the terminals themselves do not provide official luggage storage facilities, there are still convenient ways to store your bags after disembarkation or before boarding.


LUGGit is particularly useful in this case. You can schedule a pick-up from your cruise terminal and have your bags delivered later to the airport, a hotel, or anywhere else in the city. 


In addition, platforms like Bounce, Stasher, and Radical Storage offer storage options near the cruise terminal area. However, it’s important to note that you might need to walk a while with your bags to reach these locations.

Luggage lockers in Barcelona city center

If you're looking for a more traditional self-service option, luggage lockers are available throughout the Barcelona city center, especially near tourist hotspots like Plaça Catalunya, the Gothic Quarter, and Sagrada Família


One of the most widespread providers is Stow Your Bags, which operates locations near Sants Station, Plaça Catalunya, and the Sagrada Família. These lockers are accessible from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM and are self-service.


Locker Lock, located near the Sagrada Família, is open 24 hours but requires an online booking in advance. Similarly, ULock (just ten minutes from Plaça Catalunya) and Locker in the City, with seven locations across Barcelona, offer 24-hour access and online reservations.


Although these locker services are convenient, they’re typically unmanned, meaning your luggage is stored unattended. During high season, lockers may also be in limited supply. If you have multiple or oversized bags, always check size restrictions on the provider’s website before booking. 


Prices can vary significantly based on locker size, location, and duration, so it's wise to compare options beforehand.
